Event Description

What is SignStorm?

“You walk down the street in downtown, heading by the Fairmont and the San Jose Museum of Art. Suddenly, you notice protest signs covering the concrete like a layer of snow. Silently, without a human presence, they still proclaim loudly the hurt, the fear, the anger, the defiance, and the hope to the sky. The language of cardboard and marker is captured in photography and in the media – forever.”

We hope to gather approximately 200 signs (flats only) from protests and rallies, and will be accepting new signage as well, at pickup points around town, including University Art on Meridian Ave. in Midtown. Happening between 1 and 4 pm on #NotMyPresident’s day weekend (2/19/2017, with rain-out dates of 2/20, 2/21). Video and photo sessions are planned to begin at 3:00 pm.
